Intro to Psychology

I wasn't that crazy about Josh, although it's hard to put my finger on exactly why. He is a pretty uninteresting professor, to begin with. He presents the material without much energy or enthusiasm, and his slides were so unorganized and endless that it was hard sometimes to figure out what you needed to study. He constantly went off topic and told long stories about weird pop culture psychology. I think we were about four classes behind by the end of the semester. I never really approached him about anything/went to his office hours, but he seemed approachable enough.

The tests were so easy -- way easier than it appeared based on the "Fair Game Sheets." I reviewed the relevant chapters in the textbook and (occasionally) Josh's slides, and went to class (not really necessary), and I got an A in the class. The psych experiment project was fun, as was the extra credit where we got to write about a lecture. I hope he continues to assign these fun extra credit assignments.

Workload:

SO light! (Though there's a lot of vocab to memorize, all the time.) Study the terms, read the textbook, occasionally go to class, and you'll be fine.

His intro to psychology class isn't too bad. Everything he says in class is on the midterms and finals. His slides are pretty useful, it is more important to go to class and write down what he says rather than skip class and read the slides/ textbook. Just remember his examples and ideas from the book and you should be fine. He also has a fair game sheet, but tends to give that only a week in advance (which may not be enough time to memorize 1/3 of a semester's stuff. Also, his final is cumulative.

Workload:

No homework, some extra credit, just a lot of reading.
Reading: more important to take notes and fill in the holes using the textbook.
